the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situ-
Health hazard by dust
Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known
(to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals work in a well venti-
lated area and use approved safe-
ty equipment, such as dust masks
that are specially designed to fi l-
ter out microscopic particles. Wash
hands after handling.

ations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Machine-related safety instruc-
tions
– Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during
your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some
types of wood and metal). Contact with these
dusts, especially inhaling them, can represent
a hazard for operating personnel or persons in
the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations
that apply in your country. Connect the electric
power tool to a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protective
mask.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.
